A Workshop on Challenges at the Interface of Hitchin Systems and String Theory: March 18 – 22, 2019

The workshop will be devoted to recent exciting developments related to Higgs bundles and the Hitchin fibration, and string theory. The purpose of the workshop is to bring key leading researchers of related fields together with young researchers to establish new directions and investigate shared challenges at the interface of physics and mathematics — including the theory of Hitchin Systems and singular geometry within string theory.
